Minecraft works for me. It’s been a Minecraft week.
I’m not on Bluesky, what downsides are you seeing in their app?
I was picturing a graphical map with circles for the communities at different sizes for the amount of traffic. It could be based on proximity for how much overlap there was in user posts and comments, and also by category, color the circles by instance maybe too? Like make it waaay more visible and accessible than Reddit. Somebody must have the chops to make something like that here, right?
Fair and kind words, thank you. Pleasant days to you, friend.
3.8 ounces? Yikes, that does seem low.
They moved against the gays when abortion stopped being such a wedge issue, which itself replaced school integration to turn out the bigot vote.
Are the Dharmic faiths particularly inclusive of queer folks? Or just by comparison? I don’t know about Buddhism but China is somewhat antigay, and it’s not like the Kama Sutra had any gay stuff in it, and with all the erotic Hindu temple art I’ve never seen any gay stuff going on. Happy to be corrected if I’m wrong in my amateur assessment here
If votes became truly public, what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made? Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.
I really hope a solution is found and if Lemmy goes the way of truly public votes, it would probably turn this into a nonparticipatory medium for me, I’d still read posts but not vote or comment.
Edit: also, most casual Lemmy users aren’t aware of public votes and would be upset that it already works this way, and only particularly invested or curious users are even reading this thread.
I think most users assume votes are private and most will have a similar reaction to learning about this unintuitive negative feature of anything built on ActivityPub, including Lemmy.
Baked in visibility of votes and blocking that only works one way makes Lemmy (and anything based on ActivityPub) less functional from an end user standpoint. Wish I knew a decent, somewhat popular alternative that implemented these features
I definitely remember short 2 or 3 second clips of relatively high quality music being played through our family’s IBM XT’s motherboard speaker at one point using a demo we got from a BBS or the Public Domain Software site in the mid-80s. It wasn’t easy but some madman made a proof-of-concept that did it and it was incredible at the time.
I enjoyed it but admit it was imperfect. They should keep remaking it though, I’d happily watch yet another remake it in a decade or so.
Texas Instruments ROM Basic, then later PC-DOS (not MSDOS)
I miss hip hop
I used to use an electric toothbrush many years ago but heard it could cause receding gums so its storage. I like manual toothbrushes because you can buy the inexpensive ones and replace them frequently, electric heads are a little pricey to replace. Generally my tongue seems pretty clean but I’m going to get a cheapo tongue scraper and see if I notice any difference. Do you use one of the fancy copper ones or just the standard steel/plastic ones I’ve seen?
Is a tongue scraper really that much better than brushing your tongue?
Some further context would be nice
Cordage/string. Way more useful than fire and arguably predates it.
At least Leeches are useful in medicine, even today! I’m convinced Ticks have no ecological benefit or traits worthy of study apart from those necessary to ensure their eradication. Perspectives to the contrary from tick lovers and biologists welcome, however!
After some more trying (logging in with my email rather than my mobile #) it seems like it’s working now. I appreciate the encouragement, I was ready to give up!
